Concrete decor is often found within cool monochrome schemes that are often softened with the introduction of a few indoor plants scattered here and there. The lush natural greenery does provide a wonderful lift, and monochromatic styling looks sharp, but how about throwing in a few more colours to spice up an industrial backdrop like that? These three modern home tours incorporate shades of raspberry along with trusty leafy greens, plus turquoise accents, burnt orange, varying blue hues, pink and light yellow ochre. Using rich and vibrant colours within the same space as concrete features and finishes adds a new dimension of inviting warmth and even a little intrigue.
